For anyone who did read the article, you must be livid as I am that you have lost eight minutes of your life that you will never get back over someone being offended over a product name. Of course it’s a little questionable. But in the same lipstick line, you’ll find names as random like Sexer and Countess. (Why didn’t Ana Marie Cox take a photo of those and post them on Twitter?)

Plays on words, even for product names, are nothing new in the beauty industry. Nars Cosmetics has built a cult following around its Orgasm moniker, and other brands have taken notice and followed suit, walking the fine line between being playful and provocative. Find quite a few examples in the gallery above.

Oh, and by the way: According to Sephora’s website, Underage Red is still available — as it should be.
